Christmas Day

A perfect day of winter weather, and so took my wife and her father on a couple of separate drives along the snowy roads. Nothing quite as nice as a Series in 4-wheel drive in the snow. :)

Perfect snow: un-plowed, powder over ice and compacted snow, deep in some places as when going through snow banks or drifts (engine compartment had a lot of ice in it at the end, from snow that had been gathered into the compartment, melted and then frozen again) and then snow-rutted roads like those pictured. Series didn't blink an eye.

Snow does like to accumulate on the rear surfaces, as seen on the later drive. Had to wipe the rear window clean.
